FW Services - Physical Security Assets - Planned Preventative Maintenance, Repair and associated services

Description

SGN will be conducting a procurement event for the appointment of a contractor who is a Gallagher Channel Partner, and will be responsible for the planned, preventative maintenance of the physical security assessments in the Scotland and Southern Gas Networks. There may also be a requirement during the contract period for Application Support (eg: software upgrades/refreshes), but not on the underpinning system. The services are to cover offices & depots and gas sites across both Networks. The estimated spend has still to be determined however, an indicative figure, minus IT requirements, is £9m over a 5-year period. The procurement event will commence with the issue of a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire via Achilles, using Silver + UVDB code 2.9.11 security equipment installation and maintenance. This Notice is being issued to notify the market of the intention to procure these services. Should your organisation wish to participate and are not registered on Achilles please note the following: • Achilles Questionnaire must be completed which can take up to 2 weeks new suppliers. It can be completed quicker depending on the organisations available resource. The Achilles registration link is https://my.achilles.com/join-community?communitycode=ANT&lang=en-GB&buyerid=00072927. • Once the Achilles questionnaire is received the normal validation process takes around 48 hours, dependant on the validators not flagging any issues. • A fee will be applicable for joining Silver+ UVBD membership and the cost is relative to the number of codes selected: Tier 1 £750 + Vat (up to 7 codes)        Tier 2 £915 + Vat (8-14 codes)        Tier 3 £1150 + Vat (15-21 codes)        Tier 4 £1420 + Vat (21+ codes) • Achilles are aware of this sourcing event and the need for prompt validation. Should you have any questions or wish to make Achilles aware of a submission please contact Desta Wheeler, email Desta.Wheeler@achilles.com. Once validated suppliers would also be available to be included in other procurement opportunities not just with SGN but with all other companies that use Achilles to assist with supplier selection. The intention is for the PQQ to be issued at the end of April which would allow interested contractors time to complete the Achilles process. In order to participate new contractors must be fully published on Achilles Monday 22nd April. Please note that it will be a mandatory requirement of the procurement that the Main Contractor/ Tendering party must hold a current Gallagher Channel Partner accreditation, therefore only contractors who hold this accreditation should consider this procurement opportunity.
